Our Enduring Fascination With the Kennedys
“Love Story,” the FX limited series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s relationship, has taken audiences by storm.

The series has also drawn significant backlash, with criticism ranging from bad reviews to accusations of inaccuracy and even harm.
